Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
SEWA is selfless service.
Serve Humanity to serve God
Mount Kenya is the highest mountain in Kenya and the second highest in Africa (after Mount Kilimanjaro). The highest peaks of the mountain are Batian (5,199 m - 17,058 ft), Nelion (5,188 m - 17,022 ft) and Lenana (4,985 m - 16,355 ft). (We will be climbing upto Pt Lenana.) Mount Kenya is located in central Kenya, just south of the equator, around 150 km (95 miles) north-northeast of Nairobi.
In order to give you a better idea of where the money will be going, I have the details of where the money went from the 2006 Kilimonjaro trek:
1) Water Aid Projects (Kenya) - construction of Bore-Wells in rural areas where people face extreme hardship for obtaining water. The areas are selected after obtaining geological reports and professional guidance so as to optimise the usage of the water. The village communities are trained to maintain the hand pumps and to ensure fair & sustainable water supply.
2) Food Aid Projects (Kenya) - preparation and distribution of emergency medical and food aid helping to protect the lives of those most vunerable - the children, elderly and sick.
3) Medical Aid (Mombasa) - eye operations were funded to help those that were visually impaired.
4) Education Aid Projects (Nairobi):Providing bursary to impoverished students in Jamhuri High School to help improve their chances of leading a successful life and help relieve themselves from their situation.
5) Social Welfare Projects:Funding was provided for acquisition of portable tractors to help yield better crops.
THESE NEXT FEW ARE PROBABLY MORE RELAVENT TO YOUR DONATION AS THEY ARE THE NEWEST PROJECTS
NEW PROJECTS FOR THE PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY CHALLANGED:
1) Mobility Aid Project:Help for the people who have lost limbs to gain mobility & independance:

- provide crutches, surgical shoes and polio shoes to assist mobility & reduce suffering.
2) Womens empowerment projects: provide sanitary towel packs and personal needs clothing to enable girls to continue attending school.
3) Food Aid - for Homes for orphans, senior citizens, mentally handicapped children - give financial support for the provision of meals at care homes for the needy.
Saraswati Vidyalaya - One Teacher School (OTS)
Currently, from the UK, we have sponsored over 4,000 out of 28,000 one teacher schools in Nepal and India. This is the most unique education project in the world with a target of 100,000 by 2012. The project aims to remove illiteracy among the 150 million tribal people living in the most remote villages in these areas, as illiteracy is the source of poverty and exploitation. On OTS is run on shoe string budget of 68p per day. Please take a few seconds to look at the photos on this website.
My son, Yajur, and I successfully conquered Mt Kenya. We are delighted that our efforts with your generous financial support will provide much needed relief to those less fortune than ourselves. We personally witnessed how these people are benefitting from the SEWA projects but they still need our continued support.
So please continue to sponsor me generously! Thank you!
